Door Panel - How to Remove Trim Pieces

Hi all, I'm thinking about customizing my Mini's interior and I have a question. Can all the gray pieces (refer to the pic) on the door be removed without actually removing the complete door panel?

I'm thinking about doing a vinyl wrap. thanks!

I'm fairly certain those parts are attached to the door card using heat melted rivets on the back. Door card comes off easy if you want to check.

If you go to the site below under the DIY section there is a Youtube video showing how to remove the door panel. There are numerous links pertaining to the door that may also be helpful. Good luck.

You may get a better idea if you can easily separate the handle/trim from the panel itself once you have removed the panel. Sorry not to be more specific than that! Removing the MINI's door panel is a snap though!
